Tokyo, 1990. Disgraced London Met detective Pete Bond has reinvented himself as an English teacher, but his embarrassing secret is nothing compared to the dark event in Suzi Sloane's earlier life.

A promiscuous Londoner, Suzi supplements her day job by topless dancing in a Shinjuku Kabukicho hostess bar. She's considering an offer from Shigeru, a customer at Club O. Meanwhile, Pete crosses paths with Dieter, a drug-dealing German, who appears to be involved in more than drugs and seemingly has a connection with Shigeru.

Before he can investigate Dieter, Pete becomes infatuated with Suzi in Roppongi, the infamous central Tokyo expat bar area. As a web of crime and exploitation in the Tokyo underworld begins to unravel, they are drawn into a deadly series of events.

The first book in the Tokyo Noir series, Nick John's NEON IDENTITY is a hard-hitting crime novel set against the backdrops of Tokyo's Kabukicho and Roppongi.
